00:01I'm going to let you in on a little secret.
00:04As much as we use computers and technology,
00:07Avatar is made by an incredibly talented team of people
00:11who bring every expression, every emotional beat,
00:15and the entire world to life.
00:22If it's not for the actors,
00:24Pandora would just be a beautiful world with no life in it.
00:28There's not one thing that you see us do that is animated.
00:31It is all us. It is all true.
00:33Wherever we go, this family is our fortress.
00:39We capture 100% of their performance in the digital world.
00:44We needed to come up with a methodology to do that underwater,
00:48to give them an experience that would be as close to Pandora as possible.
00:54When we walk into that empty space,
00:56it compels you to use your imagination.
01:00It's acting at its most fundamental.
01:04The heart of the film is the heart of the actor.
01:06We're not just making up images out of nothing.
01:09People work for years on the clothing, the fabrication of the props.
01:13We had to figure out how to ride a creature.
01:15You've got to build something that moves like the creature.
01:19The actors are doing everything that you see a character doing.
01:23Jim said, you're going to have to hold your breath for about three or four minutes.
01:27What was that?
01:28It was 7.15.
01:32It's very physical, immersive work.
01:35But it was an extraordinary time for me.
01:37I need you to be strong.
01:39Right now, strong heart.
01:42Nothing is ever easy.
01:44But we learned so much.
01:45And that's why we wanted to give you a glimpse into the spirit of the making of the film.
01:50Let's love this.
01:52Maybe we'll have a glimpse into the dream.
01:53Let's talk about the story.
01:56Let's go.
01:58Let's go.
01:59Let's go.
